    a lot of vegan entrees i've seen are pretty high in calories. cooking, processing veggies into patties and things can make them calorie dense, especially if you're generous with the olive oil (which every vegan recipe seems to use a lot of).

    There are lots of lower fat vegan cookbooks, including "Appetite for Reduction" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz (one of my personal favorites), any McDougall cookbook, and the "Forks over Knives" books.

    Just like non-vegans ones, vegan recipes are written to reflect a wide variety of tastes/lifestyles.
